- The annual conference of the ACM Special Interest Group on Data
- Communication (SIGCOMM) will be held this year in Baltimore, Maryland
- (USA) on August 18-20. The conference will feature 28 technical
- papers covering a wide variety of topics within the overall conference
- theme of "communication architectures and protocols". Two all-day
- tutorials will be offered on August 17, one on "Optical Networks" and
- one on "Metropolitan Area Networks: IEEE 802.6 and FDDI". For
- information about the conference, to which all interested parties are
- invited (whether SIGCOMM members or not), contact the general
- chairman, Dr. Deepinder Sidhu, at the University of Maryland
- (sidhu@umbc3.umbc.edu).
-
- The SIGCOMM Award will be presented during the opening session of the
- conference on August 18. The Award recognizes lifetime achievement in
- and contributions to the field of data communications; it is presented
- annually to a person whose work, over the course of his or her career,
- represents a significant contribution to the field and a substantial
- influence on the work and perceptions of others in the field.
-
- SIGCOMM, in cooperation with ACM, the IEEE Computer Society, and the
- IEEE Communications Society, is sponsoring a new technical journal to
- be called "IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking". The new Transactions
- will be a joint editorial and business enterprise of the IEEE
- Communications and Computer Societies and ACM, and is expected to
- become the principal refereed, archival journal for the field of data
- networking. The first issue of "Transactions on Networking" will be
- published in February, 1993. ACM and IEEE members will begin to see
- the new journal on their membership renewal forms later this year.
